Oatmeal Triumphant The old Yankee wits could always find humor in oatmeal. “It always appears as if it had been chewed and then allowed a vacation. Oat meal was born in Scotland, and has much of the steadiness and persistence of the Scotch character. It persists in beain oat meal under all circumstances.” All grain porridges are somewhat innocuous in taste. As the Yankee wit observed, “Oat meal mush is usually eaten with sugar, and milk or cream. The more of these you put with it the better it tastes, and the less like oat meal.” [“Oat Meal Mush,” New Hampshire Sentinel (September 3, 1884), 1.]
